T9DEC866R 9000 Series Heat pump Tumble Dryer 8.0 kg

It’s efficient, great looks. Works perfectly. Easy to use.

We are a family of four and use the tumble dryer at least four times a week.
We are very pleased on the whole however there are a couple of areas of functionality which could perhaps be improved upon.
The water collection unit is quite long and difficult to grasp. It is manageable but could be more easily held if there was a grip textured surface where the hands go as a hand shaped indentation to the mould?
Also bearing in mind my stature (5 ‘7”) I can use this easily however someone that is shorter my find this difficult.
The water collection unit cannot be fully aired i.e. if the household is going on holiday with this encourage mould or stagnant smell? A sliding air compartment Could address this issue.
The fabric setting function is useful however there does not seem to be a consistent level of dryness for fabrics on the sun setting (cupboard dry plus) I have a variety of fabrics with mixed dried results with consistent dryness only at sunsetting.

It has great capacity for a family load and it’s not noisy we have used it even without the DB Setting and it is unobtrusive.
It dries quickly and does not get very warm even after a couple of consecutive loads. It is also safe for all the family to be around finally the filter is easy to grasp and clean!
Overall we were very happy with this product.

Well firstly I was very happy with with the looks of the machine, very professional looking and I love the little light that comes on inside the drum so you can see the clothes, just makes loading/unloading easier! The machine has lots of useful programs - especially like the sport and bed linen programs. There are a number of other functions that make it easy to use as well. Eco mode is great but tends not to dry as well as normal modes however machine has A+ energy rating which is very good! The sensing technology seems good, I don't really understand how it works but it adjusts drying time. Very happy that I didn't have to put a venting pipe out the wall as well as this keeps everything nice and neat! Would love to get the equivalent washing machine as I think they would go very well as a pair! Also very easy to clear the 'fluff' filter, I do this every few cycles as takes less than a minute and does fill up quite quickly. Also very quiet which is great when the baby is sleeping!

After a month of solid use, the new series 9 tumble dryer has proven to be another quality product from AEG. The tumble dryer's design is impressive and the build quality solid but to be honest I would not expect anything less for a dryer that falls into it's price bracket.

There are many positive features to the dryer, they include a huge range of drying features for all different types of clothes/garments/linens and each setting does actually dry them to near perfection. The dryer is also very quiet on standard settings but also features settings that are even quieter for when required. It may sound silly but the inclusion of the internal light is a huge bonus from our previous machine and stops the mystery of the lost socks.

Another great feature is that for each setting you are told the maximum weight capacity for that particular setting which eliminates overloading.

For so many positives the only real negative of the dryer is the water tank, its design makes it almost impossible to empty all the water at once. Sounds silly but get annoying. Obviously this is only an annoyance if not using the water extraction via the included pump.

Overall the dryer is visually appealing, easy to use , easy to clean and drys clothes effectively and efficiently.
